It allows us to easily compare the differences between current and previous commits. Additionally, we can leave comments on specific code blocks and request feedback or corrections from team members. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** When working with large files, this tool does not display the differences. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been using FishEye for code reviews of our software applications for a couple of years now, and it has been working well. It helps us improve our code quality and allows us to catch issues before deploying code to production. ### 2.

And it's benefitting me like it work along with tools like JIRA, BAMBOO and Bitbucket is to provide view of software development lifecycle.also helps in knowledge sharing within development teams . ### 4. Best code search engine app **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rahul B. | Software Engineer L2, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2022 **What do you like best about FishEye?** Fisheye is one of the best revision control and best code search engine app owned by Atlassian it easily gets merged with my Jira also using this tool I can search within the app and see what my other team members are doing and also using this tool I can review my team members changes. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** at present, I didn't dislike anything. The UI is pretty good it is owned by Atlassian so the support is pretty good but as it is owned by Atlassian license of this software is pretty costly. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using fisheye I can easily check and review the code of my team members as I can easily open the change in code straight from the Jira and as integrates with Jira it does ease my task. ### 5. An amazing product that remembers your past. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rishabh B. | Associate Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2020 **What do you like best about FishEye?** The GUI is really good and easy to use & understand. FishEye even offers REST API to use which makes automation tasks and the day to day process much simpler and fun to develop. This product aligns well with the Agile Scrum methodologies and keeps you focused on your work. The ability to integrate with multiple other products like Jira and Crucible makes it very versatile. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** A few more REST APIs to directly gather the required information with options to filter the search results. Also, it would be helpful to have REST APIs that respond with only the required information instead of all unnecessary information that may not be helpful for the current purpose. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** My advice to the users would be to Just Go for it. FishEye is one of the best revision control software that is easy it use, and at the same time very vast in the features it offers. It really helps the team with automation requirements and making the daily development process seamless. If you already use products like Crucible or Jira, then this is an additional boost you can provide to your process. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** This product is filled with benefits. It really simplifies the day to day development process by enabling automation through REST APIs. My team uses the FishEye + Crucible combination REST APIs to keep track of the code revisions and any action items pending for each revision. ### 6. FishEye Review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sandeep S. | Software Developer, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2019 **What do you like best about FishEye?** - Easy to raise review request for assigned issues. - Easy to go through the modified changes. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** A little bit confusing for a beginner to work on it. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** The changes done on the code are reviewed using FishEye by specific reviewers which then approve them by giving specific review comments. Benefits - Add as many reviewers as you want. - Changes can be easily tracked using Fisheye. - Gives the option of adding review comments. ### 7. Great tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2019 **What do you like best about FishEye?** great tool for tech peer reviews, our group has used this for many startup projects **What do you dislike about FishEye?** nothing i can really say, everything works great so far **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** easy one stop shop for code reviews. ### 8. A great, clean tool for code reviews **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2018 **What do you like best about FishEye?** My favorite feature has to be how easy it is to see what's changed in your code between two or more commits. As well as the fact that you can comment under each line of code, making it very clear what you want changed. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** I often have to rebase my code to squash/fix-up commits into one big commit and fisheye has trouble dealing with this, which requires me to start a different review for the same changes. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Forcing everyone to comply to standards and writing clean code. I have learned a lot about writing quality code from being code reviewed by my superiors as well as helped my team in avoiding bad code from reaching production. After completing a code review it also makes you more confident in pushing that code to production. ### 9. Invaluable SVN-supporting code browser **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2018 **What do you like best about FishEye?** Being able to track changes back years and thousands of revisions in a simple manner is absolutely invaluable. Integration between FishEye and Jira is useful, being able to link revisions to issues and vice-versa helps when trying to see why a change was made at a future date. Paired with a good IDE, FishEye fits practically all of my requirements from a developer standpoint. Whether providing other team members with the tools to prove that it was you who made the erroneous change is a good idea is an exercise for the reader! **What do you dislike about FishEye?** Upgrading and installation process for FishEye is a little complex owing to its nature as a Java application. It seems a little voodoo-like at times, but that's just the nature of Java. Sometimes the integration between FishEye and Jira isn't quite as straightforward as it could be, but this seems to have improved in recent updates. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** I'd definitely recommend FishEye to anyone developing or maintaining software out of SVN or similar. The interface is well featured, intuitive and everything works as you'd expect. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use FishEye as a means of easily reviewing changes done by different members of the team. It's useful to be able to see who changed which line of code and in which revision. We use a pretty old fashioned SVN-based repository, and FishEye handles this well without us needing to forklift replace the existing repositories. ### 10. Good product **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 13, 2018 **What do you like best about FishEye?** I like seeing each diff shown in each file. I like the fact that you can assign users to review submitted code. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** It’s not extremely intuitive and when you assign multiple people to review, if one completes the review, I’d like to close the review instead of waiting for the other reviewers to review. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are constantly having to get our code reviewed and fisheye allows us to integrate within Jira ### 11. Awesome code review framework! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** JR R. | Co-Founder/CTO, Computer Networking, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2018 **What do you like best about FishEye?** The ability to leave comments, post updated patches, and integrate with Stash **What do you dislike about FishEye?** We started out using stgit to manage patch stacks, and it was awkward to use FishEye/Crucible then. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code review ### 12. Good tool if you are not using DVCS **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick L. | Chief Technology Officer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2017 **What do you like best about FishEye?** Just like any Atlassian products, it integrates tightly with the rest of the stack, giving you a complete development experience. The ability to visualize what is going on in your code repository is also nice, as sometimes, you just need to be able to look at a piece of code without having to check out the entire code base. You can also perform diffs online in the browser. It also indexes your code base, so searching through your code (if your code base is large) can be very handy as well. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** For some reason, FishEye (at least when I was using it) feels very inconsistent with the other Atlassian products. For example, the user management part is clunky compared to other products. It now supports DVCS solutions such as git, but Bitbucket feels like a much better tool to use instead. Maybe it is the product's history, feels more like a tool for traditional VCS such as SVN. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** If you are using SVN or CVS, it would get the job done, but if you are using DVCS, such as git or mercurial, you should really consider using Bitbucket instead. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mostly as an online code browser to view code without having to check out the entire code base. Diffing between revisions to find changes during team meetings. ### 13. Good code visualization tool for Atlassian ecosystem **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2018 **What do you like best about FishEye?** It integrates very well with jira and other atlassian products. Code visualization is satisfactory. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** UI/UX could have been better. Keyboard shortcuts should be better. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** If you are not on github or gitlab, you can consider fisheye. Or, if you are already using Jira and crucible, it will integrate nicely with them. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** It was used for code visualization for team. It was good enough for this purpose and met all the basic requirements. ### 14. Fisheye Review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nikita C. | Software QA Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018 **What do you like best about FishEye?** ability to leave review comments nicely. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** sometimes hard to manage and is not good **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** N/A ### 15. Perfect fit to track your code changes and code comparisions **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Praveen K. | Business Development Manager- North India, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2016 **What do you like best about FishEye?** In my company, tech-team used to work on Jira to plan, track and report the each stage of development project. But being an Open Source Software and equipped with advance features and different capabilities, we integrated Jira with Fisheye. Now we have better track and monitoring for any changes or revisions in the code. The best thing about Fisheye is: 1. Tracking is easy as it provides user-level notifications via email. 2. Integration with the traditional software development platforms. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** It is not able to compare two different revisions such branches of a folder or two different folders. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** It is one of the best software for tracking and following what's happening in the project. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our users can track any request/ticket raised by them to the support team. Our software development is able to track and visualize any code changes. It has improved the SLAs for support services to clients. ### 16. Fishery **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joe D. | Senior Software Engineer, Consumer Electronics, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2017 **What do you like best about FishEye?** It's an OK application for code review. But it didn't give review board a run for its money. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** It pretends to integrate well with JIRA, but it didn't. It pretends to not be cumbersome, but it is. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** Don't. Use a diff tool and sit down with your team to review code. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a code review tool. You need one. Or you don't. Whatever. ### 17. Will do the job - it's eh for me **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2016 **What do you like best about FishEye?** My company was only using FishEye when I first started working here. I had no complaints. I keeps track of our repositories and commits pretty well. It was integrated with our JIRA tickets so tracking everything was clear. My favorite thing was the logs it keeps of all commits. It includes the messages so if your developers and using good messages, you get a really clear timeline view of what's going on. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** After a while of working here, we also started using BitBucket. That's when I started comparing the two products. Since I got used to BitBucket, I hate having to use Fisheye. It seems so much clunkier. As I mentioned the overview is really good on FishEye, but if you're trying to see specifics, navigation is a nightmare compared to BitBucket. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** If you must, it's not a bad option. (We used it with our SVN housed repos). But if you use git, get Bitbucket instead. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code base tracking ### 18. Fisheye review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim M. | ERJ 175 Captain, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2016 **What do you like best about FishEye?** Really like the search feature . Allows you to find code very fast. Overall I have been impressed. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** Overall there is not very much I dislike. Maybe the initial cost. **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows you to visualize data which can reveal problems. ### 19. The Revision Control Software Included with the Atlassian Suite **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2016 **What do you like best about FishEye?** The integration with FishEye and the other Atlassian tools is fantastic. FishEye is, in particular, one piece of software that makes up the Atlassian Suite of products. FishEye is the revision control piece of the entire suite that supports CVS, git, and subversion. It really integrates nicely with the other tools of the suite, allowing seamless integration with the review tool and issue tracking tool. **What do you dislike about FishEye?** As state previously, the FishEye tool is not a free product. If you need a simple, free revision control tool, you could check out BitBucket which is another revision control tool owned by Atlassian. **Recommendations to others considering FishEye:** If you are in need of both revision control and a code review process, the combination of FishEye and Crucible is a fantastic tool for increased productivity and workflow. If you only need revision control, you might want to look into BitBucket which is a great alternative (and free for personal use). **What problems is FishEye solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've used FishEye at my company to backup and share code with fellow teammates and other devices. It has saved our team a couple of times when we needed to roll back to a particular check-in or at least view old code that had been removed. The visual browser that it uses to manage the repository has saved our team countless hours and headache. ## FishEye Discussions - [How do I get all the features that do not have their own API?
